When did you become a Morgan’s Wonderland volunteer? April 2010
What prompted you to volunteer your time and talents? A personal need to give back for all of the blessings I have been given in my life.
From your perspective, what’s the best thing about being a Morgan’s Wonderland volunteer? The joy on all of the visitors faces when they come in and realize that they are included in all of the activities and rides in the park. And everybody is the same at Morgan’s – not different.
Please tell us about an experience as a Morgan’s Wonderland volunteer that truly touched your heart. There have been so many experiences that have touched my heart from all the employees and volunteers who are there to help each guest to have a terrific time to all the laughter and smiles on a guests face = that truly is priceless. To see an 80+ lady being able to ride the carousel and remembering being a child. The guest who gets to swing for the 1st time. The laughter in the Sensory Village from being on TV! Seeing that child/adult catching their 1st fish ever! Watching the faces of parents and grandparents watching their children have the best time ever!! Many, many more….
Based on your experience, what would you say to others who are thinking about becoming Morgan’s Wonderland volunteers? If you truly want to make a difference in someone’s life ~ If you enjoy giving back ~ Please think about being a volunteer at Morgan’s Wonderland!
